Kerslake joined as the drummer in 1971 and originally stayed until 1979. Hensley was later a member of Blackfoot and appeared with W.A.S.P. He eventually became the band’s main songwriter, including the band’s iconic hit Easy Livin’, and stayed with the them until September 1980. When the band wanted to add keyboards to their sound in 1969, they brought in Hensley who had been a member of the band Toe Fat. Uriah Heep started in 1967 as The Stalkers and, later, Spice. Keyboard and guitar player Ken Hensley and drummer Lee Kerslake will join current members Mick Box, Bernie Shaw, Phil Lanzon, Davey Rimmer and Russell Gilbrook for the one-off show, playing with the band throughout their two-hour set. They performed numerous gigs together, recorded several CDs and a live DVD.Two long-time members of Uriah Heep will return to the band for a special October 15 show at the Moscow Circus. No wonder the German Krautrock legends Jane secured the quality of the voice of CoH singer Torsten Ilg for themselves. Not only Uriah Heep fans enjoy it a great deal, when Hammond and Leslie are screaming as if competing for bragging rights, fat guitar riffs and singing solos alternate, bass and drums create the pressure of an oversized hair dryer and above all there are vocals which convincingly recall the exceptional lead singer David Byron.
On the other hand, of course, there are high decibel levels to be expected.

So CoH already acted as openers for the program of Uriah Heep at London’s Bush Hall in July 2004. Uriah Heep quite appreciate the merits of the band located in Baden / Germany. In addition, CoH dare to play songs which the originals have not performed on stage for decades or even not at all.
